So I finally arrived at Awenda provincial park, car loaded to the gills, not too far off schedule, happy to be out of the city, although still anxious about all I was leaving behind... As I waited in the registration office for the young staff to print my permits, I spotted a little activities sheet, and immediately remembered my lofty thoughts of running an "astronomy" night up here. My feelings are confirmed, still, after all these years: they do not have any astronomical activities planned. It's a shame really. There is so much that they could do.
With my waning interest in motorsport and waxing urges with astronomy perhaps I should finally and seriously consider this. I'll think about it. Maybe in 2007 I can come up for a week or two and run seminars and nightly viewings and nightly activities. They have a new amphitheatre...
Mike Armstrong is the park super...
Mr. Tulley (?) is the activities coordinator...

Hello!
I have worked at Awenda for the past 3 years in the Natural Heritage Education department. We would LOVE for someone to come help us out with an astronomy program!!!!! Tim Tully is the man to contact - I'm sure he would be thrilled!
Hi Elizabeth,
Funny you should mention this. Me and the gang are, as I type this, planning our 2007 Awenda camping. And I had just made a note in my agenda to call the park office. I'll get in touch with Tim.
Thanks!
